introducing the kylux fanfic remix!

kyluxremix:

Hi everyone! I’m trying to gauge if there’s any interest in a kylux remix exchange – read on and let me know if it’s Your Thing. 

what it is?

A remix exchange is a gift exchange where writers ‘remix’ each other’s works – taking the basic premise of a story and putting their own spin on it. Basically a mutual appreciation society 🙂

Since the kylux fandom has gone a bit stale while we wait for TLJ but there are so many amazing stories in the AO3 tag, let’s take them out again for a spin.

how would that even work?

To sign up you’d need: 1) an AO3 account 2) to have written at least 2 stories (wordcount over 800 words each) or 3 stories (wordcount over 500 words each) by the time sign-ups close, so that whoever gets to remix your work has some variety to choose from. The fics don’t have to be completed to be offered up for remix – WIPs are also cool – and matches will be made on the basis of questions included in the sign-up form to make sure everyone is as happy as they could possibly be.

After the matches are done, partecipants will have to write a remixed story of at least 500 words – and hopefully a great time would be had by all while we wait for Episode 8 to fuck us up in December. The end!

what now?

If this idea seems like something that’d be up your alley, please let me know! If enough people show interest I will come up with a schedule and go ahead with sign-ups, otherwise I will cry hybernate the blog for a few months until the fandom gets going again. Also, this is still fairly tentative so if you have any suggestions re: organization and whatnot please feel free to share.

For any questions you’re welcome to send an ask.

KTC’s Recent Update Rec List Part 1

kyluxtrashcompactor:

I know many of us are biding our time waiting for The Last Jedi, and some folks in the fandom may be hibernating a little, but there has certainly been a constant injection of great material literally (haha) every day. 

Some writings posted / updated in just the last monthish that I’ve had the pleasure to read are: 

Shades Undimmed by for_autumn_i_am aka @longstoryshortikilledhim

Hux is a bounty hunter who teams up with renegade Jedi Kylo Ren for a hunt. They’re determined not to let their biological needs intervene with the integrity of their mission. They fail. (A/B/O Themes)

(this fic is just holy balls good – delicious UST against a dynamic background of combat and spaceflight)

A Handbook For Practical Daemon Keeping by Marlon aka @marlonbookcase

A Handbook for Practical Daemon Keeping. Kylo snorted as he pulled the crumbling book off the shelf. What nonsense. 

(such a clever, creative story, in which Kylo gets more than he bargained for in Hux)

Stand Inside Your Love by _Melodic_(Sae) aka @mugglelissa

What began as two lonely souls finding a clever way out of their social and familial obligations soon turned into something else—something inexplicable, inevitable, and irrevocable.

(a lovely and atmospheric Regency era fic full of pining, tender new feelings and first times)

Just A Crush by @thesunandoceanblue

Mitaka felt a hot flush travel through his body. In his mind, he was already replacing Ren’s name with his own.

Mitaka accidentally overhears Ren and Hux celebrating Ren’s return.

(Mitaka never catches a break. This is cute, and hot.)

Massage Therapy by@thewightknight

Armitage Hux always made the best of his annual physical/mental examination. It was almost a vacation every year. The thing he looked forward to the most every year was a visit to a local parlor. Every year, everything was always the same, and that’s how he liked it. But this year, things did not go according to plan.

(a great dose of sexy and feels, as always)

Hey Baby, Can You Bleed Like Me? by Kyluxtrashpit aka @apostaterevolutionary

Kylo is no stranger to being a fuck up, but he never expected to fuck up killing himself. Trapped in a mental health ward with the full belief that there’s nothing they can do for him, he finds unexpected solace in his asshole roommate. (attempted suicide themes)

(this fic is 10/10 – socked me right in the gut but left me with a smile on my face)

Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot by @glass-oceans

When environmental controls on the Finalizer break down, getting close is the last thing on Hux’s mind, but the first on Kylo’s.

(Kylo is such a wonderful mess, and Hux is so put upon. Loved it.)

(I already have a second and third post in this series, because there are just SO MANY FICS I can’t put them all in just one list!! I have a ton of stuff on my to read list as well, so keep an eye peeled for some great stuff!)
